Introducing 8 New Base Materials [Studio Beta]

[Pharao13 (PharOs)]

Everything I needed in my life is here now (i love it)

[logieMaster23 (Leo)]

Thank you for the new materials :DD, roof materials look amazing - the ceramic tiles look like solar panels which is cool to use for a space theme game. Overall, i love it!

[foodeggs7 (HappyGamesStudioS_yt)]

Cool but roof singles and rubber ecesist for years already as enum but it only returned plastic

Roblox should make the materials beter like different materials in one material like metal you can set to coper or gold since gold is heavy it should sink fast

[Pharao13 (PharOs)]

But will we also get these materials for the terrain editor?

There is no new material to see here.

[idelww]

they’re still in beta. there’s lots that will change through the time, they should be in there pretty soon i assume

[bebsharky]

This is a great add! I have been waiting for some more diverse textures for years.

[Crazedbrick1]

I think a feature to change the scale of a material would be amazing. Especially with repeated textures like tile or shingles.

[IdontPlayz343 (FPS_Enjoyer)]

Yes! This and Introducing 8 New Base Materials [Studio Beta] - #32 by PeZsmistic need to be a thing. I’d love to not use textures to add that tint. Texture based tint is inconvenient, ugly, unperformant, and just awful in general.

This is a good update, It just feels weird, I never expected roblox to add new materials after not touching them for so long.

imma check these out.

[FloofyNezzled]

Nice name XDDD

Cool update, glad these are finally out after like a year or whatever

[commandshift71 (garbagebag)]

I really like this update. It gives us more to work with when we’re applying base materials ( not custom ones ), and i like the look of these new materials, in general.

quick build i made w/clay roof tiles

It has been years since we have had new material variants.

---

Also, having more of these material variants will greatly enhance objects visually and give us a wider approach to making dynamic footstep sounds using Humanoid.FloorMaterial and raycasts.

Also, raycasts produce a more realistic effect, while ‘Humanoid.FloorMaterial’ is a simpler and more efficient solution.

---

With the newly released ‘SurfaceAppearance.Color’, I am hoping to see more elements like this in the future to give us a more dynamic and realistic approach to making games.

And also, in the future, I hope to see more materials and more options for Surface Appearance customization.

I love this update!

[NightTheChosen (KingNight)]

I wondered what these looked like when I saw the enums.

[YourPlxDev (PLX)]

Hey! I have a good suggestion, why dont you add shiny material?

Just like the post here: New Material For Shiny Objects

If your team adds this material, that would be the best your team!

[RealLehione (Lehione)]

Very nice Roblox, thanks for sharing.

[RubyDeveloperRBLX (RubyDeveloper)]

I love this. I’m currently working on 2 projects with realistic stuff and this will help. Please add more I love this.

[77x_lv (Bag)]

[LightBeamRays]

This is great feedback, thank you! + @CaptBeatty for sharing on Clay Shingles and Roof Shingles as well. Our team is working on updating those.

[BraveTurtlesOfficial]

New roof and tile materials? Now I can make my own house Thanks, Roblox!
